Lakota East senior standout Emily Lafferty has concluded her athletic career at East, but not before garnering significant honors and recognitions for her accomplishments. Lafferty was recently named OHSAA 1 st Team All-State following an outstanding senior season. As catcher for the 22-8, District Champion Thunderhawks, Lafferty posted a .406 batting average, with a league leading 6 homeruns and 24 RBI. She is the recipient of the league's highest honor as the 2009 GMC Player of the Year.

This marks the second time Lafferty has received 1 st Team All-State recognition as she was also selected in 2008. “Emily is without a doubt the best all-around catcher I have ever coached,” said East head softball coach Steve Castner. Lafferty has not only been a tremendous all around athlete at East but also an outstanding leader on the school's Student Athlete Leadership Team.

Emily will attend George Mason University next fall on a softball scholarship. She hopes to major in Biology. CONGRATULATIONS EMILY!
